Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to vibration dampers, and more particularly, to a controllable vibration damper utilizing a magneto-rheological elastic element.
- crankshaft In an automobile, combustion forces produced in the engine cylinders are transferred through the piston-rod connection to the crankshaft to introduce torque pulses that act to spin the crankshaft. It is often the case that this torque-pulse-excitation occurs at a rate (or frequency) that corresponds with the crankshaft's natural torsional first mode, and sometimes second mode, frequency. A crankshaft left to operate in a high amplitude torsional resonance condition is likely to fail much sooner than desirable. Therefore, it is typical to control a crankshaft operating in a resonant condition by adding a specifically designed crankshaft damper.
- the two predominant crankshaft damper designs in use today are the fixed frequency elastomeric damper and the broad band viscous damper.
- the fixed frequency elastomeric damper which is often used in automotive and light truck applications, utilizes an inertia mass with a torsional spring element to control a specific crank resonance frequency.
- a second inertia element and spring element must typically be added resulting in additional cost.
- the designer must contend also with lesser but important factors that contribute to frequency shift including temperature changes and permanent frequency shift from elastomer aging.
- the broad band viscous damper which is often used in agricultural, heavy duty and marine applications, utilizes an inertia mass that moves independently in a shear fluid—all of which is contained within a housing mounted to the crank.
- the shear fluid often a silicone, provides viscous damping when placed in shear.
- the oscillatory input amplitudes of the crank are met with a counteracting torque of the fluid in shear.
- a viscous damper is often less effective than a fixed tuned damper at its specifically tuned frequency, the viscous damper is able to durably counteract high torsional amplitudes across multiple frequencies.
- the combination damper 10 includes a plate 12 , which is mounted to the crank-nose of a crankshaft, an inertia ring 14 and a pair of rubber elements 16 that couple the inertia ring 14 to the plate 12 .
- a chamber 18 formed between the plate 12 , the inertia ring 14 and the rubber elements 16 contains a viscous fluid to provide viscous damping.

- FIGS. 2-6 A new active vibration damper utilizing one or more magneto-rheological materials is shown in FIGS. 2-6 .
- the broad concept of active vibration dampers disclosed herein has broader application.
- the varied damping and varied spring rate technology that is disclosed would be useful in other applications including, for example, linear dampers and bending dampers.
- the term “vibration damper” includes not only devices that counteract, control or reduce the vibrations of a vibrating element but also devices such as isolators that insulate or protect elements that are associated with a vibrating element.
- the vibration damper 20 includes a hub 22 that may be coupled to a rotating shaft, such as a crankshaft, for rotational movement therewith.
- the hub 22 may be coupled to the crank-nose 24 of a crankshaft, which typically protrudes from the front cover 26 of an engine or generator, as in FIG. 5 .
- the hub 22 may be made from metal, plastic, or any other suitable rigid or semi-rigid material and may be coupled to the rotating shaft by any typical means including set screws, keyways or interference fits.
- the vibration damper 20 further includes an inertia element 28 , which may be an annular ring concentric with and spaced radially outwardly from the hub 22 .
- the inertia element may be spaced radially inwardly from a flange on the hub or spaced axially from such a flange.
- the inertia element 28 may be made from metal, plastic or any material having suitable mass.
- the outer surface of the inertia element may include one or more grooves or notches to receive a power transmitting belt.
- the belt may be further engaged with one or more driven sheaves operatively engaged with one or more accessories, such as an integrated starter generator unit or a compressor.
- the outer surface of the hub may include one or more grooves to receive a power transmitting belt.
- a magneto-rheological elastic element 30 Interposed between the hub 22 and the inertia element 28 is a magneto-rheological elastic element 30 that non-rigidly couples the inertia element 28 to the hub 22 .
- the elastic element 30 may be press fit or injection molded between the inertia element 28 and the hub 22 or adhered to the inertia element 28 and the hub 22 using any conventional adhesive that is typically used in the field.
- the vibrations of the crank-nose 24 are transferred to the inertia element 28 through the magneto-rheological elastic element 30 , which has some spring rate that is governed, at least in part, by the shear modulus of the elastic element 30 .
- the elastic element 30 may be designed such that the damper provides either counteractive damping of a vibrating element or through vibration isolation at a particular vibration frequency.
- the spring rate of the elastic element may be selected such that the vibrations of the inertia element 28 , after having been transferred through the elastic element, occur out of phase with the vibrations of the crank-nose 24 to provide a counteracting torque that controls resonant vibrations of the crank-nose 24 .
- the spring rate of the elastic element may be selected such that the inertia element 28 and other associated elements experience substantially lower vibration amplitudes than the crank-nose 24 at a particular crank-nose vibration frequency.
- the “frequency of the damper,” as that term is used herein, refers to the targeted frequency at which the damper is design to either produce a peak counteracting torque or provide maximum isolation.
- the new magneto-rheological elastic element 30 of the present invention comprises a composite of magnetic-responsive particles dispersed within an elastic material, which may be, for example, a rubber with an Ethylene Acrylic base such as VAMACTM rubber.
- the elastic element 30 comprises magnetic-responsive particles in the range of 10% to 50% by volume.

- the elastic element 30 possesses variable elastic moduli, including shear modulus, that can be controlled through control of the magnetic field. This phenomenon is substantially related to the well known variable viscosity of magneto-rheological fluids and is confirmed by experimental test results. In addition, it is further anticipated that the damping characteristics of the elastic element 30 can also be controlled through the application of a magnetic field.
- a composite of VAMACTM rubber containing 25 parts per hundred rubber by volume of 60 micron iron particles was loaded in tension both within and outside the presence of a magnetic field.
- a magnetic field strength of 0.2 Tesla was applied, an elastic modulus increase of between approximately 7% and 20% was measured, dependant upon the strain levels.
- a plurality of electromagnets 32 are mounted on the front cover 26 of the engine and are positioned so as to be located in close proximity to the elastic element 30 as it rotates.
- the electromagnets 32 When energized through wire leads 34 operatively coupled to a controller (shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 ), the electromagnets 32 are operable to produce a magnetic field 36 across the elastic element 30 .
- the number and position of the electromagnets may be varied. By varying the voltage applied to the electromagnets the strength of the magnetic field 36 can be controlled to in turn control the shear modulus and therefore the spring rate of the elastic element 30 .
- FIGS. 7A and 7B a new active vibration damper 40 according to a second embodiment is depicted.
- the vibration damper shown in FIG. 7 utilizes structural elements similar to the elements previously described with respect to FIGS. 2-6 , identical reference numerals have been used to identify the elements.
- the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 further includes a fluid chamber 42 formed between the hub 22 and the inertia element 28 .
- the fluid chamber 42 contains a viscous fluid, which may be a magneto-rheological fluid, to provide viscous damping as the inertia element 28 moves relative to the hub 22 .
- the fluid chamber 42 should be located so as to be within the magnetic field produced by the electromagnets 32 when energized.
- the elastomeric spring rate and the viscous damping rate of the damper can be actively controlled through control of the magnetic field strength.
- FIG. 9 a schematic of a system for directly controlling the vibrations of a rotating shaft is shown.
- FIG. 10 shows a system for indirectly controlling the vibrations of a rotating shaft.
- a system for directly controlling the vibrations of a rotating shaft having an active vibration damper 50 like the one disclosed herein, a vibration sensor 52 and a controller 54 .
- the system may further include a power source 55 .
- the rotating shaft 56 which may be the crankshaft of an automobile, is represented as a series of rotating elements 58 , 60 , 62 , 64 , 66 , 68 , each having some rotational inertia, connected by torsional spring elements 70 , 72 , 74 , 76 , 78 , where the rotating shaft itself has some torsional spring rate.
- the active vibration damper 50 couples the end of the rotating shaft 58 , which may be the crank-nose in conjunction with the damper/isolator hub, to another rotating element 80 , which may be a damper inertia ring and/or an isolator pulley and/or a belt drive system.
- the vibration sensor 52 which may be a displacement sensor, monitors the vibrations of the end of the rotating shaft 58 .
- the controller 54 is operatively coupled to the vibration sensor 52 for receiving a signal therefrom and is operable to energize an electromagnet to control the material properties of the active vibration damper 50 based, at least in part, on the signal received from the sensor 52 .
- the active vibration damper 50 includes an elastic element having at least a controllable spring rate and it is believed controllable elastomeric damping properties.
- the vibration damper 50 may also possesses controllable fluid damping properties. Accordingly, the frequency and damping range over which the damper can provide effective vibration control is increased.
- a system for indirectly controlling the vibrations of a rotating shaft having an active vibration damper 50 , a controller 54 and one or more performance sensors 84 .
- the performance sensors 84 may monitor engine and combustion performance to indirectly determine the vibration damping that is necessary.
- the controller 54 is operatively coupled to the performance sensors 84 for receiving a signal therefrom and is operable to energize an electromagnet to control the material properties of the active vibration damper 50 based, at least in part, on the signal received from the sensors 84 .
- the active vibration damper disclosed herein may also be used to isolate vibrations.
- the concept of “isolating” an element from vibrations means to reduce or eliminate the transfer of vibrations to the element. This may be accomplished either by controlling the damping or the spring rate of the vibration damper for a given vibration frequency.
- the broad concept of “damping” includes the reduction of energy transfer by, for example, conversion of kinetic energy into heat. It is believed that the damping properties of a magneto-rheological elastic element, like its spring rate, can be controlled or varied through the application of a magnetic field. Accordingly, the systems and devices already described are effective with little or no modification as isolators.
- the benefits and advantages of the new active vibration dampers will be apparent to those skilled in the art and include real-time control to accommodate both normal and abnormal engine operating conditions as well as improved cost and mass efficiency through the elimination of dual spring/dual inertia damper designs. Because the elastic and/or viscous material properties of the active vibration damper can be altered, multiple frequencies, modes, temperature changes and elastomer aging can be accommodated without the added mass and cost of more traditional combination type dampers. Additionally, it may be possible to reduce noise emission when the damper is part of the noise transmission path and improve the life of the damper through the reduction of stress, strain and heat generation in the damper.
